A New York mother has turned to her son’s legion of Facebook supporters in hopes of finding a doctor who will operate on him as the 20-year-old battles a disease so rare that it isn’t named. Nicholas “Nico” Vigliotti, 20, wasn’t supposed to make it past his first day on earth, NBC New York reported. “They said, ‘You need to see your son, he only has minutes to live,’” Debbie Vigliotti, Nico’s mother, told NBC New York. But, due to his fragile health, Debbie said Nico has been denied by three transplant centers and she hasn’t been able to find a doctor willing to operate on her son. “I’ve had many surgeries over the years and hospital visits; it’s just very hard,” Nico told NBC New York.
